What does it mean to be an “Essential Leader” in the future of work?

What is a “gray collar” job and why are they the future for many industries?

My guest on this episode is Kelly Monahan, Managing Director, Research Institute @ Upwork, Christie Smith, Founder of The Humanity Studio

During our conversation Kelly, Christie, and I discuss:

  • Why designing "unicorn jobs" is hurting both candidates and organizations - and what to do instead.
  • The rise of "gray collar" jobs jobs—a blend of white and blue-collar skills and what this means for the future of work.
  • Why employee agency and autonomy are non-negotiable elements for building high-performing cultures in today's workplace.
  • Why leaders need to spend more time identifying the work that needs to be done by a human and what work should be done with AI
  • Why “Essential Leaders” of the future will have to focus on their teams, not themselves.
